Case Management – Beyond Legal Software
Last year DPS Software signed four new clients. Nottingham Trent University (NTU), Jackson Parton Shipping Solicitors, Davies & Davies Associates and Clark Willis Law Firm have all chose DPS Software as their preferred supplier of software solutions for the legal profession. By signing these clients, DPS branched out into three niche areas.
Barry Bostoff, Sales Manager at DPS Software commented: “In the current climate it is encouraging to see that firms are spending money on case management solutions. IT is the backbone of any business and Case Management Systems provide firms with a solid IT infrastructure which is critical when steering any business through these uncertain times.”
He continued: “The market is slowly improving and I see firms looking at IT to help rebuild their businesses. PMS systems give firms the solid base they need to be ready to cope with the increased workload when the market picks up.”
NTU, Jackson Parton and Davies & Davies Associates required a bespoke solution to meet their needs. NTU required a case management system with various permission/log in rights across 4 departments including each of NTU’s 5 HR Teams, the Corporate HR Team, the Equality & Diversity Team and the HR Payroll Team.
Jackson Parton are a specialist marine law practice handling wet and dry marine, commodity and trade, insurance and related litigation and non‐contentious work. They needed a Matter Management and Accounts package with digital dictation facilities.
What’s Hot in Motorcycling? Motorcycle GPS
Anyone who has used a great GPS system, including a great motorcycle GPS system, will know how user friendly and useful a good GPS can be. With modern GPS technology coming of age and modern digital mapping technology improving, a great motorcycle GPS can turn a ride into a pleasure.
What is GPS? For those who don’t know, GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a navigation and positioning technology pioneered by the US army, that has been taken to it’s ultimate and turned into a complete user friendly modern navigation solution. Whilst in the past GPS was really just the province of the military, the technology is now so good, and so cheap, that anyone needing the ultimate in navigation can afford it.
That includes motorcyclists, modern motorcycle GPS has also come of age.
Basically GPS works by cross referencing the signals from a number of satellites above the head of the user and using those references to plot the user’s position on the globe. It will only work where there are available satellites, so if you can’t pick up the signals your GPS won’t work.
Modern GPS is accurate, depending on the number of satellites available, to within less than a yard. So anyone seeking to navigate by use of a GPS system can obtain extremely accurate positioning. And this is now user friendly. In the past this information was only available as a longitude and latitude figure. This was only really useful to someone with the technical expertise to actually use this to plot the position on a map.
Jeep Hurricane Concept: a Chrysler Group Vehicle Platform
It is almost two consecutive years that the automotive industry haven’t heard about the production model of Chrysler Group’s off-road concept called the Jeep Hurricane since it was unveiled at the 2005 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
During its unveiling at the NAIAS two years ago, Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Chrysler Group Design said: “Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most capable and most powerful 4×4 ever built. It pays homage to the extreme enthusiasts’ Jeep vehicles in form and off-road capability, but is a unique interpretation of Jeep design. Simply stated, it is the extreme example for the Jeep brand.”
“Out in the wilderness, changing direction in minimal space can mean the difference between an afternoon of adventure and a distress call back to the trailhead. The multi-mode four-wheel steering system on Jeep Hurricane is designed to offer enthusiasts the next level of performance and unexpected maneuverability,” he further explained.
One interesting feature of the Jeep Hurricane is that it does not have roof or even a side door. The concept has only two seats for occupants and equipped with body architecture exclusively for an enhanced off-road performance. In fact, the Jeep Hurricane concept was chosen by Autoweek as the winner of their “Most Fun” Concept vehicle award at the show.
